About this service

Summary

I partner with authors to shape memoirs and nonfiction manuscripts that feel alive, truthful, and artfully structured. With a background in creative direction and narrative strategy, I help refine flow, deepen emotional resonance, and strengthen voice while protecting the authenticity of the writer’s story.

FAQs

  • What kind of manuscripts do you edit?

    Primarily memoir, narrative nonfiction, and hybrid projects that blend lived experience, reflection, and story craft.

  • Do you change the writer’s voice?

    Never. My goal is to strengthen what’s already there — to make the story more vivid and true, not to overwrite it.

  • How long does the process take?

    Most projects take 2–4 weeks depending on length and feedback rounds. I’ll outline a clear schedule once I review your manuscript sample.
